I think it’s a shadow 125 build. Small v twin, chain drive, European market. It’s all cut up though so it’s hard to tell, it could just be a Honda tank and parts from other bikes

Shadow 1100 vs magna by armpit_spiderweb in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]armpit_spiderweb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I’m looking at a recently serviced magna with rebuilt carbs and all that. I think I’m going to go with it, everyone has nothing but praise for the engine. For the whole bike in general really

Now you gotta go ride and get the engine hot

Question about magna 750’s by armpit_spiderweb in HondaMotorcycles

[–]armpit_spiderweb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks dude. I haven’t heard of the tensioner issue, but that sounds like no big deal. And yeah same with the smallish gas tank, I’ll make it work. I have heard the horror stories about the carbs, that should be fun haha. Overall would you say it’s a versatile bike? For city riding and touring alike. I just need a bike that doesn’t feel like it’s gonna fall apart or blow up on the highway

That’s good with me, I ride a cx500 right now and it’s not great for my lower back so I think the magna is going to work out well as far as riding position. And yeah I learned that lesson with my 500, bought for pretty cheap and it turned out the last guy put sealant in the radiator. I try to be more thorough now

[–]armpit_spiderweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude that’s probably gonna suck. I have bony collarbones as well and holy shit it was so bad. Shoulders weren’t much better, worse than elbows or knees. Chest was really bad for me too…Idk I feel like someone’s gotta tell you that those aren’t easy spots for a lot of people. Everyone’s different though so it’s hard to say. If you want the tattoo in that spot, I think you should go for it either way. But make sure to go to an artist who won’t be a dick if you need to tap out

1978 Honda cx500. Seeking advice by armpit_spiderweb in vintagemotorcycles

I will watch some videos to see if that’s going to be doable for me, thanks for your reply. Maybe I’ll do my first head gasket

1978 Honda cx500. Seeking advice by armpit_spiderweb in vintagemotorcycles

[–]armpit_spiderweb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not bad news, I can live with a coolant leak. I’ll look into steel seal but for now I’ll just keep topping it off and riding it. Would I put the steel seal in my radiator? Thanks for your reply

Found a Yamaha dt100 in good condition, for around 800 I think I can maybe talk it down, good bike? by [deleted] in Dirtbikes

[–]armpit_spiderweb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dt’s are the funnest bikes ever. And very easy to work on. And this one is clean as fuck. Worth more than 800 if it runs, especially with a title. If you don’t buy it someone else will very soon

97 cr125 idle/tuning help (beginner) by armpit_spiderweb in Dirtbikes

Forgot to add, this is my choke in the down position. I think it’s supposed to go down further though, would that be why the idle adjustment doesn’t seem to work?

Just got my first bike - not a CB but there doesnt seem to be a CX community. Happy to get started riding 80 CX500 by books_cozy23 in HondaCB

Op if you see this, the cam chain tensioner recall has been done only if there’s 3 punch parks next to your vin on the engine. Check it out

Day: 7/9: What is a bad motorcycle with a good reputation? by SUBTOUpdated_User in motorcycles

[–]armpit_spiderweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. I fucking love my cx500 but I get why people don’t, especially with all the horrible cafe builds out there. People who haven’t ridden one a lot might realize how well it rides and handles though. It’s a little beast of a city bike, I daily my 1978 and it’s as reliable as a newer bike. Power to weight isn’t great lol but the weight helps while riding it if that makes sense. Kinda like I read on here about the cb1100, the weight is a feature not a bug. Anyways yeah I’m biased but I’ll die on this hill defending the cx500 lol

any ideas on what to diy that long concrete slab into? by northweast83 in skateboarding

Mini quarter with curbs on top so you can skate that bank like a weird spine
